I am raising funds for my neighbor’s dog Hachi. He is a two year olf
Pitbull mix who is loving, sweet, playful and full of life. Believe me
when I say I never thought I would love a Pitbull of all
breeds! His personality won me over from day one.

As my neighbors have their hands full with a new baby and full time
jobs, I often take Hachi to the park and for walks to help out, plus I
love his company. In the last month, I have noticed that his back legs
and hips are causing him to limp and sometimes cause him to fall and
roll when he is playing with the other dogs, and even when we are
simply on a walk. Recently, his owner took him to the vet, who
informed him that Hachi was born with a deformity in his knee that is
causing him to have problems and that is will more than likely get
worse as time goes by. My heart breaks at the thought that he could
become lame, when surgery could help correct this. As my neighbors
can’t afford the surgery, I am trying to help them out by creating
this fundraiser. They don't know I am doing this, and I am hoping to
surprise them with the funds when we raise $2,500, which is the
estimated amount it costs for the surgery. As anyone who owns pets
knows, surgery is never easy or cheap!

As I mentioned earlier, Hachi loves to run like the wind at the dog
park (the Lettie Towles Dog Park in Ocala, formerly the Millenium Dog
Park) and chase the other dogs, but his knee is causing him to have an
increasingly hard time with this, and he needs to stop and lay down
more frequently. Even the other patrons of the park are noticing how
he is limping badly after playing and having to rest in mid play. He
deserves to be healthy and enjoy his life, so I am asking folks to
donate $1.00, or any amount you choose, to help raise money. I will be
putting a link on my home page for Paypal where people can donate. I
know there are many scams out there and you may be hesitant, so I am
asking my friends to write some testimonies of my personality for
people to read to make them feel more at ease. I am hoping to run a
shelter for cats someday because I love animals and want the best for them.

Thank you so much for simply reading about Hachi. If you don’t want
to donate, could you please help by passing this along to others to
make them aware of Hachi’s situation? He and I really appreciate it!

Follow his progress on my Facebook page and see pictures and videos
of him.
